    Brought to you be the genius who paid $44 billion for a company and promptly halved the value. The same man who held his shareholders ransom for $56 billion.

    Why anyone thinks a ruthless billionaire has any position in a service that is supposed to serve the people, is beyond me.

      Well, Twitter was never worth $44 billion. He still fucked it up but a good chunk of that value was never there to begin with.

        It was worth $44 billion to Elon, which just displays more of his business “skills”.

          Not sure I’d say he thought it was worth that since he tried to back out of the deal but was forced to follow through.
